Quote:What Is Dead Internet Theory? ChatGPT Boss Sam Altman Hints At Truth Behind Conspiracy
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has suggested that the death internet theory may not be a conspiracy theory anymore owing to the rise of bot accounts on X (formerly Twitter). Despite having previously disbelieved the theory, Mr Altman, the creator of one of the world's most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, ChatGPT, suggested that there may be some truth in it.
“I never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run Twitter accounts now,” Mr Altman wrote on X.
Dead-internet theory is a conspiracy theory suggesting that the internet has been almost entirely taken over by AI models and autonomous machines. The profiles and the accounts you interact with on social media are, in fact, just bots. The theory adds that users are barely interacting with humans and that everything online is just a machine-maintained illusion, almost like "The Matrix".

We’re real. You’re the bot.
